A peerless American storyteller, Ray Bradbury brings wonders alive. The Illustrated Man is classic Bradbury?? eighteen startling visions of humankind's destiny, unfolding across a canvas of decorated skin. In this phantasmagoric sideshow, living cities take their vengeance, technology awakens the most primal natural instincts, Martian invasions are foiled by the good life and the glad hand, and dreams are carried aloft in junkyard rockets. Provocative and powerful, Ray Bradbury's The Illustrated Man is a kaleidoscopic blending of magic, imagination, and truth??as exhilarating as interplanetary travel, as maddening as a walk in a million-year rain, and as comforting as simple, familiar rituals on the last night of the world… (més)
Ray Bradbury situa els seus personatges en situacions límit: fora del seu món (humans a l'espai exterior, Mart, Venus, o marcians a la Terra) o a punt de morir o de veure com tot s'esfondra o desapareix. I amb els seus relats ens transmet hàbilment les pors i preocupacions d'aquests personatges: desesperança, fe religiosa, dèries, obsessions, incomprensió, solitud... Els veurem enfrontar-se a l'entorn i a ells mateixos i sentir-se talment com un peix fora de l'aigua. ( )

They walked down the hall of their soundproofed, Happylife Home, which had cost them thirty thousand dollars installed, this house which clothed and fed and rocked them to sleep and played and sang and was good to them. Their approach sensitized a switch somewhere and the nursery light flicked on when they came within ten feet of it. Similarly, behind them, in the halls, lights went on and off as they left them behind, with a soft automaticity.
